Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)

• The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
• The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50).
• The minimum passing mark for the SEE is 35% of the maximum marks (18 marks out of 50).
• A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end examination (SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation)and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together.

Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE):

Two Unit Tests each of30 Marks (duration 01 hour)

• First test after the completion of 30-40 % of the syllabus
• Second test after completion of 80-90% of the syllabusOne Improvement test before the closing of the academic term may be conducted if necessary. However best two tests out of three shall be taken into consideration

Two assignments each of 20 Marks

The teacher has to plan the assignments and get them completed by the students well before the closing of the term so that marks entry in the examination portal shall be done in time. Formative (Successive) Assessments include Assignments/Quizzes/Seminars/ Course projects/Field surveys/ Case studies/ Hands-on practice (experiments)/Group Discussions/ others. . The Teachers shall choose the types of assignments depending on the requirement of the course and plan to attain the Cos and POs. (to have a less stressed CIE, the portion of the syllabus should not be common /repeated for any of the methods of the CIE. Each method of CIE should have a different syllabus portion of the course).
